The NASA Conspiracies

Book excerpt: A journalist specializing in conspiracy theories examines the US government’s role in censoring information about the space program and alien lifeforms. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration—NASA—was established on July 29, 1958. Ever since that day, NASA has been at the forefront of efforts to explore outer space, resulting in the Apollo missions to the moon, the Skylab space-station, and today’s space shuttle. But behind the open face of NASA, there is a much more mysterious world. NASA has been linked to a wealth of high-level cover-ups, including: Claims that the Apollo moon landings of 1969 to 1972 were faked as part of an effort to demonstrate military and technological superiority over the former Soviet Union. NASA’s role in hiding the truth about the controversial face on Mars—which many believe to be a carved structure, created in the remote past by long-extinct, indigenous Martians. NASA’s deep and longstanding involvement in the famous UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico, in the summer of 1947. Deep Throat—like NASA sources that have attempted to blow the lid on NASA’s most guarded secrets concerning the U.S. Government’s interactions with aliens. The NASA Conspiracies throws open all the doors that the Space Agency has kept closed for so long.
